In ABBYY Flexicapture, I use the ODBC-Compatible database option to export to my SQL Server database. Several of my columns in the database are DATETIME, but I recently realized, we don't need (nor have) the time, and would like to export only the date. So I changed the database column to a DATE type. Now I'm getting this error:
Failed when converting date and/or time from character string
I am not providing it with a time, only a date. Historically, these have gone into the database with 00:00:00 as the time associated with the date.
How can I export to DATE column?
Have never faced such issue in FC. First make sure that ODBC driver is from the drivers list they recommend
For SQL 2000, 2005, 2008, 2008R2, 2012 database:
Provider - OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers;
Note: Selecting "OLE DB Provider for SQL Server" may cause problems when working with certain data types and long fields.
Driver - SQL Server.
For Access 2003, 2007, 2010 database:
Provider - OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers; Driver - Microsoft Access Driver (Driver do Microsoft Access or Microsoft Access-Treiber).
For Oracle 9g, 10g, 11g database:
Provider - Oracle Provider for OLE DB;
Selecting the driver is not required.
Second try to reset the export destination. Select the ODBC source and map fields again

I understand that to reverse engineer a database in Visio you require a ODBC data source name. I created one using the PostgreSQL Unicode(x64) driver.
In the Visio Reverse Engineering Wizard, you can select from Microsoft SQL Server, ODBC Generic Driver, and Oracle Server. The created DSNs show only up under Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Server; when selecting the ODBC Generic Driver, there are no Data sources. When I create one using the New button, it again shows up under both the Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Server.
When I select the DSN from either list, I can enter the User and Password, but get the one of the following errors:
Oracle driver: Warning! You are using a Visio 'Oracle Server' driver to connect with a 'PostgreSQL' DBMS datasource. By using an incompatible driver, it is possible that the catalog information retrieved will be incomplete.
Microsoft SQL driver: Function sequence error
In both cases, I am unable to generate a diagram. Any thoughts?
The "Setup" button next to the installed Visio drivers allows you to select the ODBC drivers to use. If no ODBC driver is selected, all DSNs are displayed; if specific ODBC drivers are selected, only those DSNs which use that specific driver will be displayed.
In my case, the Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Server Visio drivers did not specify any ODBC drivers to use so all DSNs were displayed.
On the other hand, the ODBC Generic Driver had the PostgreSQL ANSI drivers selected which resulted in my DSN using the PostgreSQL Unicode driver NOT to be displayed. Clicking on the Setup button and adding a checkmark to the PostgreSQL Unicode drivers made the DSN available for selection and the Visio was able to reverse-engineer the database.
Select ODBC drivers associated with "ODBC Generic Driver"
I’m trying to perform a Diff on two DB2 schema’s and when I try to select my source and destination connections it doesn’t list my NEW connection. I’m using latest version. I can connect to DB2 manually and query as well, but just can’t sect that connection during database Diff.
Where are the connections saved in sql
Developer?
That feature is reserved for Oracle Database connections.
DB2 connectivity is provided for migrations to Oracle only.
We have limited support for DB2 in the Data Modeler (which is part of SQL Developer), and you can compare models, but the generation of DDL synch scripts is reserved for Oracle data models only.
Is there any feasibility from Oracle to have a connection established to DB2 database so that I can query on DB2 database and generate reports from Oracle Apex?
OR
Is it possible to create a View in Oracle from a remote DB2 database?
OR
What options do i have in order to develop reports in Oracle Apex from the data i have in DB2 database?
(I know, this is an old question and you've already found a workaround. Anyway,) the keyword you might be interested in is gateway. This is Oracle 10g Database Gateway for DB2/400 Installation and User's Guide. I don't know which database you use, but - if 10g is not the one, I hope you'll manage to find the right documentation.
Shortly: after installing the gateway between Oracle and DB2, you'd create a database link. Then, in your Oracle schema, create a view that selects data over that database link from DB2 database. Finally, fetch data in Apex from the view.
As i didn't find a way to directly connect to DB2 from Oracle PL/SQL, i used a work-around. As this is a reporting tool, we are ok to have this tool running with the data which is 1 day off, we did the following:
1) Extract the data required from DB2 database to CSV files. We used a DB2 command which can be run at command line to extract the data into a CSV
2) Then we imported the data into Oracle tables using sqlldr
I'm trying to convert some old Excel-reports to Crystal Reports. The excel sheets uses OLAP-cubes and connects to a database using a XMLA connection over a SimbaO2X driver.
I just can't figure out which connection settings to use in Crystal Reports to be able to connect to the database.
I've tried both XML and OLAP connections, but just can't get a database connection.
Any help with the connection setting would be appreciated!
Edit: The database is a bit of a black box; it's probably an Oracle database (it was an Oracle database before the end user frontend was rewritten in java. They could have changed the database as well.) I have however no success with neither the Oracle Server nor the Microsoft OLE DB for Oracle connection method.
I have also this morning found a SimbaO2X provider under the OLE DB folder. While not working it's the best so far -- it accepts the username and password and lets me select which database to connect to but then fails with ADO Error Code: 0x80040e73 (Format of the initialization string does not conform to the OLE DB specification.) At least I have something to go on.
I'm running Crystal Reports XI if someone needs to know.
Partial solution:
Upgrade Crystal Reports XI to Release 2, service pack 4.
Update from service pack 4 to service pack 6.
Upgrades and updates can be downloaded from the SAP Community Network
A connection can now be made with the SimbaO2X OLE DB driver. This solution should also resolve connection problems with some other databases as well.
However, adding a table to the report results in a 0x800a0cc1 error (Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal)
Suppose I have multiple Oracle databases in the same server. Now I want to connect to particular database and query a table just like SQL Server 2008. How to start particular Oracle database?
If you are using SQL*Plus, the most common syntax for opening a connection is
sqlplus user_name/password#tns_alias
In this example TNS_ALIAS is the TNS alias for the particular database you want to connect to (most likely "XE" based on your followups to inium's answer). If you want to connect to a different database, you would need to specify a TNS alias for that specific database.
Note that since you are coming from a SQL Server background, the SQL Server definition of a database is rather different than the Oracle definition. What SQL Server calls a database is similar logically to what Oracle calls a schema (and similar physically to what Oracle calls a tablespace). So when you're dealing with Oracle, it's much more common to have many schemas in a single database than to have a large number of databases on a server. This is particularly true if you're using the Express Edition (Oracle XE) where you're generally limited to one database per machine.
go to cmd and type sqlplus <database-name>/<database-password>
You can use SQL Developer, it's similar to SQL Enterprise Manager 2005. Just create a new connection using the db user name and password.
